Question

Hi,I am very vague as to the way in which the means of [welcome] is formed.I give my understanding with it and your teaching appreciated.1. [a welcome suggestion] rephrased: a suggestion which has us to be gladly accepted   [You are always welcome at our house.] rephrased: You are always the man who has us to be gladly accepted at   our  house.   In [1], the speaker expresses the acceptance of what, with [welcome].2. [Welcome to England!] rephrased: an expression of greeting that is directed towards a guest who just come to    England.   I need to know whether the [to] is the [to] in [come to England]?---(a)   And the speaker to make a greeting sound towards someone, so the speaker is a real body to make a guest to   feel the hot-blooded .  -----(b)3. the verb-welcome is the same as the interj-welcome in making a guest to feel the hot-blooded.Thanks very much.3.3.

Welcome is a very old word in the language, native in Old English.

It comes from two parts:

a) willa, meaning "pleasure, desire, choice"

and

b) cuma meaning "guest"

So the word has the idea of a desired guest.

I welcome you = It is my pleasure for you to be my guest.

Welcome to England = You will see this on signs at the International airport. It means that England is happy to have you as a guest.

You are not using "hot-blooded" correctly. It refers to a very rash, emotional, adventurous, or passionate person.

Thanks a lot AlpheccaStars.

Let me to have an opportunity to get a clos-up of your lines.

1. In [So the word has the idea of a desired guest.], does [has] mean that the word has the idea as itself intention / purpose with a desired guest ?

2. In [It is my pleasure for you to be my guest.], does [my pleasure] mean that it is the thing that should give me pleasure for you to be my guest? So, [it] has the power to give pleasure towards me.

[my pleasure]----I am given pleasure to it. So , in [my pleasure], [my / me] is an acceptor.

3.In [England is happy to have you as a quest.], rephrased: to have you as a guest causes England happy.

4. In[to have you as a guest], does [have] mean to receive / take you as a guest?

That way is the same as the usage of [have] in [They may always have His Spirit to be with them]??

Thank you for your assistance.

bepleased1. In [So the word has the idea of a desired guest.], does [has] mean that the word has the idea as itself intention / purpose with a desired guest ?

No. Have/has only show possession. There is not any intent or purpose.

The boy has a toy. - There is no intention or purpose here. He might intend to play with the toy, throw it away, give it to someone, or just look at it. The toy might not even be in his presence. Has only means that the toy belongs to him.

bepleased2. In [It is my pleasure for you to be my guest.], does [my pleasure] mean that it is the thing that should give me pleasure for you to be my guest? So, [it] has the power to give pleasure towards me.

No. This is usage of "dummy it." It is required to serve the purpose of a grammatical subject in the sentence. It is just a "placeholder" for the subject, which is required in an English sentence.

bepleased
3.In [England is happy to have you as a quest.], rephrased: to have you as a guest causes England to be happy.

That is too strong a statement.

The purpose of a welcome sign is to cause the visitor to feel comfortable, have a good trip, enjoy the hotels, food and sightseeing, and return another time. Most of the people of England will not even notice this visitor, unless the visitor does some evil things.

bepleased4. In[to have you as a guest], does [have] mean to receive / take you as a guest?
That way is the same as the usage of [have] in [They may always have His Spirit to be with them]??

Yes. The guest will be in your care while they are with you. As a host, you have an obligation to see that your guest is comfortable.

Hi,

Thanks a lot AlpheecaStars.

To your teaching, I review it and give it new meaning:

1.In [So the word has the idea of a desired guest.], the [has] means [the word is / or identifies a sign of the idea].

2. In [It is my pleasure for you to be my guest.], the [my pleasure] indicates a thing which causes me pleasant, is it right?

3.

In [Yes. The guest will be in your care while they are with you. As a host, you have an obligation to see that your guest is comfortable.], the [have] stands for [bear / take / experience] as , is it right?

Wish to take your teaching soon.
